#so here's the section that was actually fun

[not-poignant]

Hi! Big fan of your work and writing blog :) I have a question re: fanfic reception. I like writing fanfics about villains on the receiving end of noncon, and I sometimes get feedback that makes me feel weird and I dunno how to respond to it? It’s along the lines of "thanks for giving [character] the pain they deserve" "it’s good that you aren’t nice to [character] like those other fanfic writers". (Part 1…)

(Part 2…)I kind of feel like they’re complimenting my morals instead of my writing, but I also could be overreacting, because I mean it’s fine to seek out fics where a character you hate gets tortured? No hurry answering this, and thanks in advance if you do. I hope you’re doing alright on your break from UtB. I am using the time to reread and am loving it!

Hi anon!

Oh this is an interesting quandary to be in, because I'm certain at least some of those people are very much being moralistic about it.

Tbh when it's 'thanks for giving (character) the pain they deserve' you can probably ignore that if you want, because yeah, they might have revenge fantasies and find that very satisfying.

But when you get people going 'thanks for being mean / not nice to this character like other writers' - if you're the kind of person who responds to comments and feels uncomfortable when someone is using your space to shame other authors (because that's exactly what's happening) you can choose - if you want - to take the time to say 'I have no problems when people enjoy this character being hurt, however, I do not tolerate when folks shame other authors and readers for what they enjoy in fiction. Please don't compliment my fic by putting down other people, that's not what a compliment is' or something similar.

As soon as a reader brings in other people and shames them, that's absolutely when you can take a stand and see a clear issue.

I see this a lot for two different things:

Writing realistic kink, and so many readers being like 'omg thanks for writing realistic kink there's so much unrealistic trash on here' and these days I always make a point of saying 'oh thanks! but I write and love unrealistic trash too. This is a fictional site and no one should be expected to write realistic kink here!' It shuts people down amazingly fast. But also makes them realise that perhaps they just shouldn't be throwing stones when we're all in a very glass castle on AO3 lmao

Writing realistic trauma recovery, so like 'thanks for showing how awful and evil rape can be unlike those people who write it for fun' - now how I end up with these readers with my actual writing history, I don't know, but I take the same approach of like 'thanks BUT I LOVE writing rape as titillation! I enjoy both!'

You don't have to be as blunt as me, and you don't have to address it at all, but any reader who shames other authors or readers in your comment section can be addressed directly because it's just a shitty thing to do. And people don't say shit like that in public if they don't secretly hope that one of those people will see the comment and feel bad about what they like.

So yeah, with your first example, they could be feeling moralistic, or they could just want a revenge fantasy and really enjoy noncon! The second example is a clear cut example of shaming, or stepping on other people to pass you a compliment, and you're never ever over-reacting when that makes you feel uncomfortable, or makes you feel like it's not really a compliment. Because all it really is, is a version of: 'you passed my moral standards, thanks' and that's not actually a compliment at all. (Or like you say, it's complimenting your morals, it's like having a weird fandom policeman come by and glare at you and be like '....okay you're committing no crimes, as you were' and moving on. It's just weird).

Anyway *shakes hands for weird comments that shame other readers/authors in the form of a compliment* - I do think you're right to feel uncomfortable at least sometimes when this happens. It's up to you how you choose to address or not address it, but I will say personally that if you aren't going to address it in comments, maaaaybe consider deleting the ones that shame other readers/authors, so that when those people read your fics they don't feel alienated. It's obviously your choice! But just something to consider if you want to be curating your space. And best of luck writing all the noncon-villain fics! They can be a lot of fun :D

Pairing: Bratty!Black!fem x Dom!chris

Summary: you and chris are in a private plane section together, what’s gonna happen when everyone on the plane is sleeping and it’s just you two?

Warnings: Dirty talk, Overstimulation, sex obvi, oral, p in v, pet names (mama, ma, baby)

word count: 5.6k

authors note: i hope u guys like this one😝 i had a fun time reading it and i think y’all will toooo. enjoy you lil freaky frogs

★·.·´¯`·.·★. Ⓢт𝔢𝔽𝓲𝔼. ★·.·´¯`·.·★

you and Chris have been together for over a year, which is crazy because of how much commitment issues he said he had.

you’ve gone public recently and most people have given you a ton of loves because now your youtube channel of 7.3mil has went up to 9mil.

because of this you and the triplets had the idea to go on a combined tour which sold out immediately. now you guys are in the airport going to the next city.

“okay ma’am step here” the security guard gets the metal detector and goes down my body slowly. then you look at chris nervously as they get down to my boobs

“BEEP BEEP BEEP!!” chris bursts out laughing and can’t even stand up straight so he leans on matt who chuckles but hides it“um ma’am..” the security guard looks at me awkwardly

“oh sorry i have piercings..” the security guard widens his eyes and nods then continues scanning my body.

you notice chris staring at your ass as you impatiently wait for the security guard to be done

just when he finishes scanning the triplets you punch chris lightly in the arm “chris why’d you laugh at me” you rolled your eyes and pout as he laughed even harder.

“passengers on private flight 2834 to Chicago start boarding now”

you and nick jump up and down excited to get on the plane “i can’t believe we got a private planeee i’m so excitedddd”

“I CALL SHARING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND” chris yells. you slap his arm for being so loud since it’s nighttime.

nick rolls his eyes and groans already walking towards the plane. matt grabs your small suitcase chris and you couldn’t carry and frowns jokingly “so u don’t wanna sit with me nick” matt says in his baby voice

“no actually i want to sit by my best friend but chris’ crusty bitchass won’t let me i know it” you see him stick his tongue out at nick while smacking your ass “chris stop acting like a child” you say

“your ass just looks so good in those shorts ma i can’t help it” chris whispers in your ear and you can’t help to smile but also low key squeeze your thighs together

read 11:28

“what movie mama” chris takes your phone and throws it on the other side of him

“ooo let’s watch adventures in babysitting” you start to get excited and pull the blanket over yourself

“newer or older?” chris says smirking already putting on the older one

“noo the newer one is better why are we watching the old one”

“because we’re not gonna watch the movie” chris turns the volume up a little and takes his shirt off

“chris not in the plane !!” you look to see if anybody woke up and he takes advantage of it and slowly slips your shorts off

“my god chris calm down” u see him slide under the blanket and pull your panties off

“we won’t have a lot of time to do this on tour so let’s take advantage of it.“ he looks up at you with low eyes “can i?”

as soon as you nod your head he slowly puts his long finger in your pussy. “fuck mama ur so wet for me” he twists his finger and spits on your pussy and starts slurping it

“fuck chris oh my god” you whisper yell then chris slaps his hand over your mouth “we can’t do this on a plane !!” you squirm

“be quiet or i’m gonna stop” chris sternly looks at you and continues doing the fingering/eating combo.

he starts licking it and fingering you at an unbelievable pace then as he’s doing that chris licks up from your stomach then stops at your lips to kiss you

he starts to suck on your sweet spot right under your ear and then he feels your breathing slowly speed up and he fingers you even faster

your confused on how he’s doing it this fast but you enjoy it

“chris i’m gonna cum” you say as you feel your high coming up “yea baby cum for me” right as he said that you cum hard right on his fingers

then without giving you time to recover chris pulls his sweats taking his boxers off with them and strokes his dick and pushes it in your pussy without any hesitation

“fuck~ chris wait a sec- oh my god” you try to push his arms away but he grabs your wrists and pins them above your head

“you thought you were going a slut and wear those shorts then walk in front of me the whole day huh mama?”

you moan when you hear this, remembering that u indeed did intend to tease chris when you put them on

he smirks as he pounds into you not making as much noise as one would think “are you gonna be a good girl and give me words?”

you shake your head knowing exactly what you’re doing and what’s gonna happen. chris bites his lip and nods “well i guess i’m gonna have to treat you like the slut you are”

“turn around” his eyes are darker then ever so you comply. chris lays down, put props himself up and forcefully grabs your hair and shoved his dick down your throat

you started to lick his tip then spit on his dick making it easier to get in your mouth. you took his full length but gagged a bit.

you hear chris moan a bit as you felt his cock hit the back of your throat.

you loved every second of seeing his groan and shake because you usually have to force his submissive side to come out.

"Fuck I'm going to cum mama" chris said as he grabbed your hair. you felt his dick twitch a bit and his cum shot into the back of your throat as you swallowed it all

“fuck baby you’re such a good girl” chris wipes some saliva off of your lips and kisses you “you want me to get you some water?”

“yes please” you nod and chris helps you slide your shorts and t-shirt on.

What if the Obey Me! characters had an in-game store

i was playing 'Animal Crossing' and you know how every week a special villager comes and sells something on your island? So, I had a thought, what if there was something similar in 'Obey Me!' where each character had a store and appear randomly once a month to sell stuff.

I imagine an app on the home screen where players could buy special items at a lower price, the character that is selling would appear on one side of the screen with the other side having the items for sale (Something like the ending screen after an 'Akuber order')

something like this, but obviously instead of the rewards, it will have items the player can buy. the boy/girl running the store that day will make comments depending on your actions (if you take too long to choose, buying many items, buying none, etc).

for every character the items sold will be different;

Lucifer: Each time Lucifer appears he will sell one sin type of Devil Tree items, (eg. greed controller, greed megaphone, greed cellphone)

"Were you just planning on standing there?"

"I believe you are short on Grimm"

"Did you not count your Grimm before coming here?"

"Today's sin is... Pride."

"If you need some Grimm earlier... you could have asked me..."

"I hope to see you soon."

Mammon: Mammon is similar to 'Redd' from 'Animal Crossing'. he will sell very high quality items like Devil Vouchers, UR+ jokers and such for Grimm. BUT the items from him only have a 1/20 chance of actually being the item you brought as it could yield nothing from all the Grimm spent... and all Mammon would say is all sales are 'Non-refunduble'.

"Time is money... and I don't have either!"

"Eh! ya' not gonna buy anythin'?"

"Don't touch the merchandise! Grr..."

"Pleasure doin' business with ya'"

"Remember, all items are non-refundable."

Levi: Levi would sell costumes that can only be brought from cards, every time he appears he'll turn up with outfits from a single event at random. (E.g. one time he'll turn up with outfits from the 'Butler event' and the next time from the 'Bunny-boy event')

"E-eh! You actually want to buy one?"

"Of course you didn't buy one... who would want to buy something from a yucky otaku"

"Its always the hardest to make outfits for Beel"

"w-would you be my model? ...EH JUST FORGET WHAT I SAID!"

Satan: Satan is different from the rest, instead of selling items, Satan will give you Grimm or DP for any items you don't want (like if you had 1000 devilgram keys, you could sell them to Satan and get some Grimm back)

"Your total is... 4000 Grimm. do you want to sell your items?"

"...Nothing to sell?"

"Mammon tried to sell me some of MY stuff back to me"

"sigh- you cant sell that."

Asmo: Asmo would sell items from the 'Medical' section on the surprise guest interactions

"Hehe... did you only come here to stare at me?"

"today is all about me!"

"Poor little lamb is shy... take your time darling"

"A Whip of love? you silly thing"

"Come back later!"

Beel: Beel would sell items from the 'Presents' section on the surprise guest interactions

"Once I sell everything I can go home and eat"

"Lucifer said I have to be in charge of the store today"

"Take your time... i know it takes long choosing the best gift"

"Who's the gift for?"

"You're short on Grimm... Belphie said I'm not allowed to give discounts."

Belphie: Belphie will sell AP and deliver it to your inbox

"yawn..."

"I'll send these to you when I wake up"

"zzzzzzzz"

"Beel likes to help me out sometimes"

Diavolo: Diavolo would sell card pieces from random cards

"Haha! this is fun"

"I wanted to wear a costume... but Barbatos said it was 'not becoming of a prince'"

"oh... do you need help?"

"Woah! that card has my face on it!"

Barbatos: Barbatos would sell the limited-time items from previous events

"I had to leave the young master in Mammon's care today. I already shudder at the thought of what I will return to."

"I hope my service was satisfactory today."

"I traveled to the past to get these items for you"

Also, I thought it would be funny, that if the player messes with the time on their phone, Barbatos would reprimand the player. (just like Mr Ressetti)

Luke: Luke would sell items from the 'Food' section on the surprise guest interactions.

"I'm in charge of the shop today!"

"I had Barbatos help me in the kitchen."

"The most difficult thing about baking was trying to keep Solomon out the kitchen"

"Simeon made his special BLT for me to sell"

"This reminds me of the cafe we had in the human world"

Simeon: Simeon would sell power-ups to the players, whether that's shovels in NB or glowsticks in OG.

"You came to my store? I'm glad!"

"I was waiting for you to come visit me today."

"Luke usually hangs around here all day."

"Leviathan said this store was 'Poggers', what does 'Poggers' mean?"

"hmm, hmm, hmm ♩"

Solomon: Solomon's Summoning Sale.

"Just a warning, I make the box poof with smoke when its open... like a proper magician."

"I wanted to sell food but Luke fought me until I let go of that idea... who knew he was so passionate about food."

"I gave you a discount because us human need to stick together."

"I wonder if there is a spell for embezzling money?"

"I'm bored... where's Asmo?"

Thirteen: Thirteen would sell items from 'Wanderous Wereabouts' from the past events. (In OG, she would just sell the same as Lucifer)

"Satan came here earlier willing to pay me for a trap to trap Lucifer"

"That sourcerer snuck into my cave again"

"Mammon keeps howling me for a discount... who does he even wanna buy this stuff for?"

"Honestly, I kinda hoped you'd pop by today"

"I'm making traps in the backroom! whoever comes after me is gonna get pranked"

Raphael: Raphael would sell the items that increase the Max level cap.

"You amaze me... how do you have time to take care of demons and able to shop?"

"Does... Lucifer and his brothers ever mention me?"

"I hate being ignored..."

"you like that? that's 5000 Grimm."

"My spears are sharper than these swords."

Mephistopheles: Mephisto would sell 'icons' for the profile in-game, these could be icons from cards or from past events.

"These pictures are only of the very best!"

"Satan helped me print these pictures."

"That reaper's always leaving her 'traps' in the backroom!"

"I'm only working here on order from Lord Diavolo."

"This is actually fun."

i thought this was just something silly to make

Izzy Hands is Not a good fighter.

I've been writing a paper on Izzy's codependency in my own time that will never see the light of day on account of it would be far too boring to anyone but me, but in doing so I have realised just how bad Izzy is at fighting and why people think he's good at it.

I'm not saying he's not skilled in swordsmanship btw, I think he has good form and is well practiced. I'm also not saying that he fucks it up all the time and fails to win his battles. I am very specifically saying he's a Bad Fighter. Because he really is! If he were a good fighter he wouldn't have lost to Stede. That wasn't a matter of Stede getting lucky or a rich man simply winning by being rich or the plot preaching the lesson it wants to preach. Stede would beat Izzy again and again given the chance. Why? Well...

Izzy Hands is an incredibly codependent character. That's a word I feel gets thrown around as though context clues define it when they don't, so I'm going to actually define it here.

A codependent person is so obsessed with controlling someone or something outside themselves that they lose control of themselves.

Izzy is super obsessed with controlling others, and not all that about controlling himself. He's particularly obsessed with controlling Ed, which is his side of why their relationship is so incredibly toxic. But we're not worrying about that now, we want to understand how he fights.

Codependency creates several more defining qualities in a person, one of which being that codependent people are highly reactive. If you're obsessed with controlling others then you become constantly vigilant of their actions. When you react to them you are no longer acting for yourself; the speed with which you're moving leaves no time to think about what your next move should be. Izzy actually understands this well, and prays on it when he fights. He's skilled enough that he can best another pirate who's also reactive. He just can't do shit to Stede on account of Stede being a pretty exceptionally nonreactive person.

Izzy starts the duel moving rapidly into form hoping to throw Stede off his rhythm. He's showing off his skill in hopes of making Stede nervous. Stede does falter when he loses his sword, and finds himself prone on the deck with things looking grim. He's not really reacting to this situation the way most pirates would though. He looks around, sees a creative solution, and pocket sands throws gunpowder at Izzy. This is where things get fun, because now Izzy is off his rhythm. He gets mad here and panics a bit. As much as Olu may have been dissapointed, Stede slapping Izzy's ass with his dick sword works to his advantage here, because again Stede is not acting how Izzy would expect. Izzy is worked up at this point. Even winning will leave him humiliated. He's mad. He clears his eyes and he's determined to finish this, tries to back Stede into a corner and continues pushing his regular fighting style. He's mad he's mad he's so ready to be done with this horrible strange little man he can't control. So ready, so certain of himself that he doesn't take a moment to consider why Stede might be offering a draw. He assumes he knows despite Stede defying his assumptions at every turn. He goes for the kill. And he's wrong.

Of course he's wrong.

Stede won out in their first interaction too. It's not so much that an ambush is "completely unprofessional" as it is that Izzy couldn't think up a way to get out of it. He sat there with a knife to his face and time to think and just couldn't really manage. He was surprised, and he got flustered, and he lost.

Izzy may know all the cool moves and be real good at waving his blade around, but he's too dependent on the other fighter's emotional state to actually be a good fighter.

Codependents tend to come from backgrounds of instability. Abusive childhoods and careers in crisis fields both, any environment that continually requires more than a person can give. I think it's fair to argue that codependency might be common among pirates. I also think it's fair to argue that Izzy looks to be a better fighter than he is because his average opponent is some pirate who sleeps on the deck with too little to eat who might very well be codependent themself. It's not that he's exceptional, it's that his enemies aren't.

Izzy Hands is Not a good fighter.

Venom!Hobie Cat-Symbiote AU!

Okay so I might have made an AU of my AU...

It's based on my Venom!Hobie au but with a slightly (?) lighter tone in the sense that Hobie actually gets along well with his symbiote. Though they initially mostly get along due to shared mutural trauma... (But more about that later)

This version of the symbiote is more animalistic and usually communicates with Hobie through emotions- sorta projecting its own emotions and feelings towards him to let him know how it feels about something, though it might also communicate via single words or short sentences but that's pretty rare.

So, I'll do like I did in my original Venom!Hobie post and focus on the Design first:

Since they get along the symbiote feels safe around Hobie and thus it'll often "extend" itself outside of him and take the shape of a (freaky looking) cat - Kinda like how VENOM is able to partially seperate itself from Eddie while still being tethered to him:

Like this but they actually get along and the symbiote looks kinda like this:

(Once again- I CANNOT draw but the brainrot is stronger so I need to share this)

(I didn't draw the symbiote goo that would extend from it to tether it to Hobie but it's there I swear!)

Since this is Spider-Punk's symbiote I wanted some of the spikes to carry over in this design

I haven't quite decided if it should have the "running-mascara" look (buttom drawing) for its eyes like Spider-Punk's mask has or not so lemme know what you guys think?

The spikes are used as a way for it to communicate to others as a way to make its body language more expressive (though it only shows itself around people it really trusts so it rarely uses them as it still just communicates its emotions directly to Hobie when it needs to)

And like with Venom!Hobie the spikes are reminiscent of symbiote teeth

When it's relaxed/happy the spikes will be pressed down towards its body - making it easy to pet- if somebody would dare approach it that is

Hobie pets it a lot as it usually sits on his shoulder when he walks around (when there's nobody around that is)

The symbiote is still made of the same goo as regular symbiotes so it does not feel like petting a cat at all- Hobie doesn't mind but most other people find it rather unpleasant to touch

The "fuzzy" look is just the symbiote goo trying to imitate cat fur

The reason the symbiote takes this form is partially because it's more animalistic and likes physical affection (from people it trusts, it will bite your hand off if it doesn't like/trust you and you try to pet it) and partially because Hobie is a cat person and it used it as a method to make Hobie like it more when they first "met" + petting it helped Hobie calm down and still does

It's gotten pretty good at mimicking cat noises including purring

It'll usually stay on Hobie's shoulder or sit in his lap like this, it's still tethered to him so it can't go that far without him - not that it really wants to anyways

If it likes someone it'll rub itself against their legs and mimic purring noises

Okay now we move on to the

Origin:

This is my current headcanon for this AU but as always feel free to share your thoughts/ideas/inputs if you have any <3

Hobie and the symbiote "met" at one of Oscorp's labs

Hobie was living as a homeless teen (13-14 years old having escaped an abusive household a few months prior) and was captured by Oscorp to be used for their symbiote experimentations

Hobie was an easy target as he had just been bitten by the radioactive spider a few hours prior and thus he was starting to suffer from the fever the bite gave him

Hobie was to be fused with a new kind of symbiote

The symbiote had been made to make people more susceptible to orders- making them less inclined to think for themselves

But in order to make that possible the symbiote had been put through some rather painful and extreme experiments- making it more "dead" than alive at this point

When it's fused with Hobie, who's still very sick at this point, the spider bite is still working its magic on Hobie's body and thus it also partially heals the symbiote

Both Hobie and the symbiote are terrified of their situation as they're put in holding cells made specifically for symbiotes.- Their only comfort is each other.

The symbiote takes on the cat like appearance to soothe Hobie after being subjects to a particularly bad experiment

Since Hobie's gotten powers from both the spider bite and the symbiote they quickly become the subjects for many inhumane and painful experiments as the scientists futilely try to figure out how to replicate the symbiote (as they're unaware of the spider bite, thinking the symbiote alone is behind Hobie's new powers)

Due to the symbiote Hobie develops a taste for human flesh

And he gets his first taste of it as he manages to escape the lab during one of their many tests- killing as many guards and scientists on their way out as possible. (This is also the first time they fully transform into Venom!Hobie)

He would later return and burn the lab down completely.

As a result of their treatment at the lab + Hobie's past with his abusive family, both him and the symbiote have developed a deep distrust to other people.

Which is also why Hobie isn't trying to get rid of the symbiote, he considers it his only friend for a long time.

Hobie still loves playing music (which is also how he eventually makes new friends) but has had to make some adjustments due to the symbiote, thus he usually uses both earplugs and noise cancelling earmuffs when he's playing and even then he still gets migraines if he plays for too long or too loud

He still craves human flesh and will usually target cops or anyone associated with Oscorp to sate his hunger.

He doesn't feel bad about killing but will still try not to harm civilians (emphasis on try- sometimes the hunger gets the best of him)

He still operates as Spider-Punk but for a long time he's mostly fueled by his hatred for Oscorp and how they treated him and the symbiote

But as he slowly learns to open up to people he starts to shift his focus onto figting to help people and make the city safer (which means he'll still target cops and Oscorp employees but that's not his only focus anymore) (he also makes an effort to actually save civilians at this point)

Though due to the symbiote and their past this version of Spider-Punk is more prone to just straight up killing his villains (+ he still gotta eat right?)

But I'd like to imagine that this version of Hobie also finds his own community who help him out and accept both him and the symbiote

Giving them kind of a "happy" ending despite this version of Hobie being more messed up and unhinged...

Once again this turned out way longer than I intended lol (I just can't shut up about Venom!Hobie, the brainrot is real!)

Thank you so much for reading!!! <3 <3 <3

(And please let me know if you have any thoughts/inputs/questions about anything I wrote! The brainrot is real and I'll never get tired of talking about this guy)

i finished narrenturm, and strangely enough, it felt like i and the story were in sync. just when i was beginning to feel bored, it picked up. just when i was feeling overwhelmed with action, it slowed down. just as i felt i wished something magical would happen, it did, and just as when i felt a need to return to the mundane, it did. a “wish and you will receive” reading experience!

something dumb to do

“What age does Auradon royalty usually get married?” Mal asks, flopping her head backwards to look at the ceiling. There’s a spider web in the corner. Maybe it’s a new assassination method, death by spiders, and eventually someone will release a venomous one and expect poor kind-hearted Ben to trap the thing rather than kill it, and that’s when it’ll be trained to strike and kill him through nefarious spider-bite means. 

Maybe Mal should stop watching crime dramas late at night when she can’t sleep. 

Or maybe she should be the one to clean out all the spiderwebs. In the name of keeping her people safe, of course. A little bit of fire would clear them right out, no problem. 

“Ben,” Evie says, voice sharp and dangerous like a warning. Like a rattlesnake, maybe. “What age?” 

Mal lifts her head again to watch this go down. Evie sounds upset, which is never ideal. Asking uncomfortable questions is normal, but she sounds outright pissed, which is…. 

Bad. 

Ben cringes so hard that it looks painful. Mal almost wants to try and squish his face back into shape. Like he’s a stress ball. The look is sort of a pained grimace expression, with a hint of something else around his mouth.

“Between eighteen and twenty,” Ben says, looking down, “is what’s considered the typical marriage age for royalty,” He gets the words out quickly, like if he speaks as fast as possible he won’t really be saying them out loud. “Sometimes as late as twenty-four or five is still acceptable. It’s stupid and antiquated and based on creating firm alliances as soon as possible.” 

“What the fuck,” Mal whispers to herself. Just to herself. She’s older and wiser now than she was a few months ago, and she’s aware that it would be a truly terrible idea to say this truly out loud.  “Oh no.” 

Ben hears her. Because of course he does. 

 “Auradon is really just a pile of smaller kingdoms in a trenchcoat!” he cries, looking pleadingly at Mal. “Political marriages are a thing! If I don’t get married young I could be considered unfit to rule because I’m not “considering the legacy of Auradon”, and I’ll be replaced with the next person in line once my father steps down.” 

Oh, gods. “And that next person is?” Mal asks, already afraid that she knows the answer. 

Ben makes a truly terrible face, all scrunched up and painful looking. “You’re not going to like it,” he says slowly. “And in my father’s defense, the council set the order of inheritance before any of them actually had children, so it’s not like they could have known what they were doing back then.” 

Jay lifts his head. “It’s Chad,” he announces, and promptly flops back down again. 

Mal’s pretty sure that she can actually feel her body do a little dry-heave at the thought. “What the fuck.” 

Ben looks physically ill. “It would be Audrey, but women aren’t allowed to inherit directly.” he says quickly. “It’s stupid, I know. If I’m declared unfit, the crown goes to Chad. Then if he abdicates or is found unfit to rule, it goes on to Audrey, assuming that she’s married to a man who will become the king regent to her queen. If she’s unmarried, the crown goes back to Charmingburgh, and Chad’s sisters are set to inherit next, from eldest to youngest. If they’re found unfit–” 

Mal is pissed on Audrey’s behalf, and she doesn’t even like the girl. “And by unfit you mean unmarried?” 

Ben winces. Over his shoulder, Evie is making almost the same face. Of course she’d pay attention in their Auradon history classes, she actually cares about this princess shit. Of course, she’s more of a princess than the rest of them will ever be, so that makes sense. Evie technically stands as like, fifth in line to inherit part of Charmingdale someday. Assuming she can jump through enough bullshit goodness hoops first. 

They’d covered Auradon inheritance order in class at some point this semester. Mal vaguely remembers it. It was a guest lecture, they’d brought in some ancient crusty historian to give the most mind-numbingly boring lecture ever about inheritance lines and the historical precedents that the Auradon royal structure is based on, and Mal had stabbed herself with her own pencil just to stay awake through the whole thing. Not that it worked that well, obviously. She’d been putting all her energy into staying awake instead of remembering the class, and after the pencil went into her thigh it wasn’t much good for taking notes anymore, due to the blood and stuff. 

Mal is the proper queen of the Moorlands now that her mother is officially living in permanent exile as a stupidly fragile little lizard, but she’s got no interest in cashing in on that inheritance, even though it would make some things easier. They’re still waiting on a proper place to stay for the summer, for one thing. The moorlands aren’t perfect, but they’re better than staying with Fairy Godmother for the summer, so Mal’s keeping that inheritance in reserve as a backup option. Unlike Auradon proper, the moors don’t adhere to the new inheritance rules that were established with King Beast and his High Council. They believe in inheritance by blood, either inherited or spilled, and last Mal checked, she’s still the only blood descendant of Maleficent, their last true queen, so she’s got that in reserve if absolutely everything else goes to shit and they need somewhere to hide for a while. 

There’s no castle in the moorlands though, and it’s all swamplands and soggy trees, so she can’t even magic a decent house into place. They can’t exactly live for the summer in a fucking swamp. The moisture alone would ruin Evie’s hair, not to mention the number of electronics that keep appearing in the boy’s pockets.

Anyway. 

“Yes,” Ben says, sounding sorry about it. He’s got a real talent for acting genuinely regretful for the shitty choices he’s forced to work around. It’s comforting to know that he’s got that much of a self-defense mechanism. “If they’re unmarried, which is unlikely to happen, as the eldest two are already married and have children on the way, the crown would theoretically move on to some of Audrey’s cousins.” 

Mal moves closer, until she’s close enough to touch. It’s easy to slip a finger under the upcoming king of Auradon’s chin, tipping his head up with one delicate human finger until he can’t help but meet her eyes.  “I don’t like the way you’re saying theoretically there, princeling,” Mal says, breathing the words out over Ben’s lips. 

Ben smiles, eyes tight. “Me neither,” he agrees. “In theory, the crown would move on to Audrey’s cousin Leon. And then to Dahlia, and then to Artie of Camelot, and then probably Snow, if she has a child with any interest in politics.” 

Mal cups his chin in her hands, the tips of her fingers resting on his throat. “What’s actually going to happen?” 

Ben sighs. Mal can feel the vibration in her fingertips. “If Auradon can’t agree on a ruler by that point,” he says, looking directly up at her “I highly doubt that there’s going to be an Auradon left to rule.” 

Shit.
